Reston, VA (PRWEB) May 23, 2011

Wirefly (http://www.wirefly.com), the Internet’s leading authorized retailer of cell phones and cell phone plans, today announced that it is now taking pre-orders for the highly anticipated Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY for Verizon Wireless, the World’s first PlayStation certified smartphone. Wirefly customers can now pre-order their very own Xperia PLAY on Wirefly.com before it officially hits store shelves – and at a special Wirefly price. As an added bonus, for a limited time, Wirefly customers who purchase this hot new gaming smartphone will also receive a $25 Android Market Card for downloading the latest PlayStation compatible games.

In portrait-mode, the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY offers all the benefits that consumers have come to expect from an Android-powered smartphone operating on the nation’s largest 3G-network. The device is equipped with a speedy 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, runs on Android 2.3, has a 5-megapixel camera in the back and a VGA front-facing camera perfect for video chat, a brilliant 4-inch 854 x 480 multi-touch screen display, and Wi-Fi, along with best-in-class entertainment experiences, great social networking features and access to over 150,000 Google apps from the Android Market.

However, when the Xperia PLAY slides open, it becomes the ultimate mobile gaming device. The slide out game pad reveals a full range PlayStation gaming control including a digital D pad, two analogue touch pads, two shoulder buttons and the four PlayStation icons: circle, cross, square and triangle. Further enhancing the gaming experience, the Xperia PLAY provides incredible 3D graphics, superb stereo sound and support for multi-player gaming.

The phone comes preloaded with many popular games such as Madden 11, The Sims 3, Asphalt 6 and Star Battalion HD. Users can also access an ever-growing selection of additional titles available for download through the Android Market. To help subsidize its customers’ gaming habits, Wirefly is giving away a $25 Android Market Card with every Xperia PLAY purchase (available for a limited time, while supplies last).
